Because no phenomena are food, they do not nourish. Because all phenomena are created through aggregation, they are not substantial. Because all phenomena are inseparable from the expanse of phenomena, there is no inferiority. Because no phenomena are embodied, they are not divisible. Because all phenomena are equal to the limit of reality, it is as if they are indestructible. “Blessed One, bodhisattvas who understand this understand the true state of all phenomena. Those who understand the true state of all phenomena understand emptiness. Those who understand emptiness have no quarrel with anyone. Those who have no quarrel with anyone maintain the way of a medicant. Those who maintain the way of a mendicant do not maintain anything.²⁰⁴ Those who do not maintain anything do not get lost in sense objects. Those who do not get lost in sense objects have no faults. Those who have no faults are the dharmakāya. Those who are the dharmakāya are thus-gone ones. Those who are thus-gone ones speak nondualistically. Those who speak nondualistically do not abandon saṃsāra and do not attain nirvāṇa. Instead, they teach the abandonment of all conceptual constructions. “Blessed One, this is a discourse on the Dharma. It is a discourse on the unerring. It is a discourse on emptiness. It is a discourse on the signless, wishless, uncompounded, unproduced, unarising, and unborn. It is a discourse on the Great Vehicle. It is a discourse on the great turning of the wheel of Dharma. It is a discourse on the great perfections. It is a discourse on the great bodhisattva levels. It is an unmistaken discourse on all phenomena. - [Previous: 7.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.dharma.dharmasangiti*bo~en-84000.7.6) - [Next: 7.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.dharma.dharmasangiti*bo~en-84000.7.8) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.dharma.dharmasangiti*bo~en-84000.7) ## Linked texts (1) - [འཕགས་པ་ཆོས་ཡང་དག་པར་སྡུད་པ་ཞེས་བྱ་བ་ཐེག་པ་ཆེན་པོའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.dharma.dharmasangiti*bo.7.7) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.dharma.dharmasangiti*bo~en-84000.7.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.dharma.dharmasangiti*bo~en-84000.7.7) · Pramāṇa
